The Colonial Theatre was built by Karl Abbot, scion of Bethlehem hotelier Frank Abbott, brought the new century to northern New Hampshire first by converting the family stables to house Humpmobiles.
During the teens and 20’s Bethlehem held the distinction of being the premier summer destination resort in the northeast with over 30 hotels (sadly, most are gone or derelict) and 4 trains arriving daily. Recognizing the diverse and cosmopolitan nature of the summer population, Hollywood studios used the Colonial Theatre as a test market for their films. The Colonial remains a significant architectural link to both the history of motion pictures and the era of the grand hotels.
